BCBS Ca weight loss management

[jkristen89 9]

I am a little over half way threw my 6 month weight loss management. I have lossed 11 pounds so far. My fear is if I loose a good amount of weight they may say I can do it without the surgery. Has anyone gone threw this?

I think it depends on your starting weight and BMI. If you are close to 40, it might be a possibility but those in the high 40s and 50s prob not.

Honestly, i didnt try to lose weight in my 6 months... it case that was an issue.

I dont know what your stats are but i think 4lbs a month, while a good start, isnt going to put a huge dent in your weight unless you have a low bmi.

I am bcbs Mn I'm 15lbs down and 5 months in. I'm only waiting on insurance approval now. No one has said anything about how much I lost and not being covered. If anything it shows you can make the changes to be successful.... Good luck on ur journey

My BMI is 54. My high weight was 311 and I'm now 293. I have one month left. I asked the doctors assistance if I should loose a lot or a little. They couldn't answer me. I really hope it doesn't affect me. Each time I stick to the diet the weight falls off super fast and it makes me scared. I know diets are short term. Thanks for your response.
